Is It Family Structure or Socioeconomic Status? Family Structure during Adolescence and Adult Adjustment.
Acock, Alan C.; Kiecolt, K. Jill
Social Forces, v68 n2 p553-71 Dec 1989
In analyses controlling for socioeconomic status (SES), parental divorce during adolescence produced few negative effects on adult adjustment, and father's death during adolescence produced none. However, SES during adolescence and current SES affected nearly all aspects of adult adjustment, as did mother's and own educational attainment. Contains 44 references. (SV)
